Home is mixture of vintage, architectural salvage and antiques. Also flower gardens, trees and a 15 foot above ground pool. Located in Port Sydney, in the famous District of Muskoka. Bracebridge and Huntsville are within 15 minutes drive. Walking distance to Port Sydney's historic falls, dam and the beach. There are many local activities as there is always something happening in Muskoka. My home is not wheelchair accessible, so sorry. Please know that there is no discrimination in this house!

My home is full of lovingly gathered unique items over the years of collecting. My street is located in the lovely town of Port Sydney. The tall trees, quiet streets and the proximity of the falls and beach make it a restful and/or busy place to be. If you're into boating, water-skiing or kayaking, there is a boat launch at the beach. Everything happens at the beach as it is the town gathering place. All the regattas, celebrations and many boat and athletic activities start and end there! We even have an old-fashioned general store that sells basic necessities, treats and fantastic ice-cream! It includes a post office outlet. There's a small restaurant in town right across from the general store, along with a tiny consignment store. Out on the highway we have a Freshmart that acts as a liquor outlet as well as a grocery store. All the conveniences that you need! I am also located about an hour's drive from Ontario's Algonquin Park where there is boating, trails and canoe rentals.

Having lived in Port Sydney, in this same house for over 18 years, I would be hard pressed to leave. It is relaxing, quiet and my backyard has all the privacy that one would expect in a less populated area. You can breathe here! There are also many adorable deer who eat all my flowers. Not their fault, they've just been provided a buffet!

The room is full of small collections which are very interesting. Lee Ann prepared it very carefully and I have to say her taste is really good that you will find the room is more than a accommodation for short stays.

Yunwei2017-09-01T00:00:00Z

It is what it says on the tin. Really cozy vintage home and bathroom with a view to the garden and pool. Lee went the extra mile to arrange fruits, juice, bagels and naturally flavoured water for us. We had our own entrance if we wanted to use it. My wife had to work a bit so she needed internet which was accessible from the room. Would love to go back if the weather is still good

Jignesh2017-09-04T00:00:00Z

Excellent stay.

Kenneth2017-07-17T00:00:00Z

Lee Ann was a great host, she welcomed us with a homemade drink and provided us breakfast. The home is lovely and the room has everything you need: fridge, coffee machine, toaster etc, big wardrobe and bathroom and was clean with a comfortable bed. The house is a perfect place to visit Hunstiville and Algonquin Park.

Dafne Maria2017-08-31T00:00:00Z

I had a great stay here. The room is very cozy, quiet and private and has charm and Lee Ann went out of her way to make my stay great. Very good location in Port Sydney, easy to access and a parking spot in front of the door. We had some wonderful conversations.

Vanessa2017-07-05T00:00:00Z

Lee Ann was a lovely host. She went above and beyond to make our visit comfortable - lots of little extras we were not expecting!

Paula2017-07-23T00:00:00Z

I loved the location and the beautiful view surrounding the property. The room is lovely with a walk-out entrance and an ensuite bathroom. Lee-Ann is a wonderful host! The room is equipped with a small fridge, microwave, toaster, and a light breakfast of a bagel is provided with marmalade & orange juice including coffee/tea to make. And I had the best sleep on the most comfortable bed in a quiet neighbourhood! It was situated in a perfect location for my need and a reasonable price.

Melanie2017-08-05T00:00:00Z

Lee Anne was a fantastic host The room was clean and comfortable . There was tea and coffee begals for morning and infused water when we got there. There was everything you could possibly want for a enjoyable stay

I didn't meet Johanna, but she arranged for her roommate to be home. Everything was great! Had a wonderful quiet, dark, comfy sleep.

Katie2017-06-20T00:00:00Z

Great place, very scenic. In the middle of Muskoka. Great place for visiting so many nearby lakes, algonquin park, north bay area etc. Johanna's place was very clean, beautiful and I enjoyed the time. Johanna is the perfect host.

Ravi2017-07-08T00:00:00Z

This place is absolutely cosy and comfortable with a nice garden. Johanna and her housemate Jamie are very friendly and you can easily interact with them. I got all the check-in Details in case she wont be there. The Location is good for hiking trips and to look around at the Muskoka Lakes. I could even spend a day with her friends and did my first canoe trip :) I definetly recommend this place!!!

Claire2017-08-01T00:00:00Z

Nathan2017-08-30T00:00:00Z

Johanna's place was just wonderful with lots of character. The bed was very comfortable, and everything was clean and welcoming. Johanna is a great host. We both are horse people, so it couldn't have been a better fit for me, and we had great conversations. Port Sydney is in a central area, close to Huntsville and Bracebridge. Amazing nature all around. I would definitely stay at her place again! Thanks for everything Johanna!

Stella2017-05-21T00:00:00Z

Johanna was super friendly + easy to communicate with! The bed was super comfy + it was soo nice waking up to the singing birds + the trees swaying in the wind (which I could see through the window right when I opened my eyes). It was a cozy little place to stay in + I will gladly stay there again in the future!!

It was a beautiful spot with a nice deck or cozy couches for relaxing when the kids are in bed!! Karen & Char were so thoughtful, accommodating and quick to respond with answers or updates about our questions or events in the area.

Hiliary2017-08-06T00:00:00Z

What a wonderful weekend away from the city! My boyfriend and I really enjoyed our stay. It was everything we were looking for in a cottage and the location was great. The property was beautiful and had a very peaceful and comfortable feel - not to mention lovely yard that backs off onto the river. Would definitely recommend this place to friends looking to escape the city and relax.

Jessie2017-06-11T00:00:00Z

Great spot for a couple or 2 couples! The apartment had everything you needed the location was great! Close to arrowhead which was nice since that was our reason for going up to hunstville!

Janessa2017-03-05T00:00:00Z

My boyfriend and I visited as a mini staycation from Toronto and Karen and Char are such lovely hosts!! Everything is exactly as described in the description of the space and was super clean, cozy and had everything that we needed. The part we loved the most was definitely the new large patio that extends out to a huge yard with plenty of Muskoka chairs, a fire pit and a nice dock that leads right to the river!! It was just so gorgeous and refreshing to be the first thing you see when you wake up. Everything is in driving distance - up the road is a grocery store/LCBO and walmarts/more retailers in nearby towns. I have to agree with the previous review - that the pictures really doesn't do the place much justice. We would absolutely return with friends next time. Thanks again, Karen & Char for providing us a great place for our staycation. :)

Kaleena2017-05-29T00:00:00Z

Place was great, Karen and Char were amazing hosts, as they had everything set up for us. Place was spotless and beautiful. Really enjoyed our stay and hope to be back!

Tiffany2017-06-04T00:00:00Z

This spot was the perfect getaway during the long weekend with my gf. Karen & Char were super responsive from when we booked the stay to checking out. The place was clean and very roomy and we felt right at home from the get go. Beautiful view of the river from the windows and right between Huntsville and Bracebridge so you can visit the local shops and restaurants within 15 mins. With the constant rain during the trip, this home more than made up for it.

Dayo2017-04-16T00:00:00Z

Great stay, the place was amazing and the picture doesn't do it justice. Karen is a gracious host and very clean and nice space with Great Lake view

Welcome to the Village Hill Cottage in beautiful Port Sydney, Huntsville. This pristine post and beam cottage is very clean, bright and cosy with lots of outdoor space to enjoy. Our cottage is centrally located and very easy to access all that Muskoka has to offer!

Amazing design with towering pine ceilings in the living room opening to the second floor loft/bedroom. Open concept main floor with master BR, full bath and 3 season "muskoka room". The lower level is fully finished with a comfy rec room, laundry, bathroom and 3rd bedroom. The bright lower level is a walkout with multiple large windows.
Our Driveway can easily accommodate multiple vehicles and boat/snowmobile trailers.

This is a fabulous little treasure! It is tucked away on a beautiful quiet little street within easy walking distance down to the main street, beach, dam, stores and restaurants of Port Sydney. The weather wasn't the greatest but we still ventured out to check out attractions in the area including visiting Bracebridge and Huntsville as both are just a short drive away. Nights were spent sitting talking together in the sunroom, sitting around the kitchen table playing cards or sitting out at a camp fire watching a deer come ambling down the lane just a few feet away from us before it headed off into the forest. Aaaron was a great host responding quickly to any questions we had and staying in touch with us as we travelled up letting us know about a tornado warning in the region! The house is beautifully decorated with all you need and the beds are comfy, one of the most important things when away from home! All in all a great weekend away at a wonderful location!

Inga2017-08-07T00:00:00Z

This cottage is in the perfect spot for those looking to get the true Muskoka feel! Located just minutes from shops, local beach, parks, and more! The cottage was very clean. The loft features 2 single beds and overlooks the living room with pull out couch. Separate screened in Muskoka Room with large deck. Main Floor Bedroom with Queen Bed. Basement featured a rec room with pull out couch and another bedroom with Queen! Could have slept 10 here easily! The best part was that there was different areas for different activities- the kids could run around and play in the rec room, and adults could chill peacefully in the Muskoka Room. Hosts were very easy to get a hold of, left us a bottle of my favourite wine, and were very accommodating! Thanks Again!

Katie2017-08-13T00:00:00Z

An awesome place to escape to the lakes, rivers and forests of Muskoka. Located in the hamlet of Port Sydney, the property overlooks Mary Lake from within a large forest. It is an easy walk to the beach, the waterfalls and the tennis courts or beach volleyball courts. Fireplace socials most evenings and spacious indoor and outdoor shared space. The deck is huge and sports lake and forest views. We also take guided canoe camping trips into Algonquin Park as an additional experience on offer.

The view and location makes for a unique experience. It is in the heart of the hamlet of Port Sydney however elevated above the lake allowing for privacy and heaps of natural space. As an add on we offer canoe camping expeditions into Algonquin Park for the daring and energetic.

We have the restaurant and general store and also the gas station and grocery store a short drive from the beach. The neighborhood is Port Sydney a hamlet of 800 souls. It is located off Mary Lake and the headwaters of the Muskoka River. At this point the lake empties over flat rocks that plunge into deep pools making for a natural slide. The beach is minutes walk and canoes are available for exploring the lake.

What a beautiful home and stunning location. Getting up early to see Venus rising, the break of dawn and the sunrise over the lake was so beautiful. The family was very welcoming and friendly. I hope to return there next year for another stay.

Katherine2017-08-27T00:00:00Z

Everything is amazing and beautiful. We met Colin and his daughter, who are so kind. They are the most wonderful people. Our family felt right at home with them. We will definitely be coming back. The house is so spacious, our family of 5 were more than comfortable there. The view is most amazing. It's the perfect place.

Tiffany2017-07-16T00:00:00Z

This place has a great location. It has a secluded feel but it is not far from anything you may need. The view is gorgeous and Colin is a wonderful host. He strives to make your stay as comfortable as possible and he knows the area very well.

Zuzana2017-07-10T00:00:00Z

Colin is a great host! The view from the deck is just awesome!! I had an awesome time there: Colin invited me for dinner the one night and for BBQ with his friends and family the other. Furthermore he borrowed me his Kajak to explore the lake just a few minutes away. I can totally recommend this place to anybody.

Christian2017-06-11T00:00:00Z

I had an amazing time at Colin's place. The house is located beautifully in the woods with a great view onto the lake. It offers a lot of space with possibilities to cook and relax. Colin was a very welcoming host who offered a lot of good tips and even cooked a delicious meal for us. I especially enjoyed the interesting discussions with him. My personal highlight was that we took the canu and went to a waterfall. I highly recommend this place to everyone who is looking for a place to stay in that region.

Miriam2017-07-13T00:00:00Z

Colin is a super friendly and helpful host that treats you as a premium guest. We had great discussions and a lot of fun. His house has an awesome view over the lake.

Tim2017-06-15T00:00:00Z

WOW! Colin and his family are extremely friendly and made me and my niece feel right at home. This is like visiting relatives. The house is amazing and the views from the living room are truly spectacular. Colin is a wonderful host who will make sure you have a great time in this beautiful area. I highly recommend staying here and I hope to visit again.

This idyllic rustic boathouse on Mary Lake in Port Sydney has all of the charm and romance for anyone's bucket list. This reasonably priced cozy 3 bedroom 1 full bathroom cottage is the perfect getaway for a small family or couples with friends. A Sundeck with a desired southern exposure directly over the water gets sun all day long. A 2 slip boathouse is perfect to tuck your rental boat away after a fun family day on Mary Lake, tubing, waterskiing, wakeboarding or fishing.

The cottage was great! Everyone had a lovely time.

Brittany2016-08-29T00:00:00Z

The pictures did not do this lovely cottage justice. Everything at Ross’s cottage was exactly as presented in the photos and description. This cottage is very cozy and equipped with everything you could possibly need. The location is fantastic: quiet and scenic and located next to a small public dock with regular boat traffic bringing a flow of interesting watercraft and people (not enough traffic to disturb anyone at the cottage). The people dock there to visit Uncle Larry’s General store just up the road from the cottage. This store is very handy and has everything you could need or want while at the cottage. Mary’s Lakeside Grill is a nice spot to grab a bite if you don’t feel like cooking and it’s just up the road as well. There is also a public beach a short walk from the cottage which is a great spot for young children to swim and play in the sand and older ones to jump off the multi-level dock with all the other kids. We spent most of our time at the cottage enjoying the canoe, fishing, swimming or just watching the activity on the lake. The view from the living room in the cottage never gets old. The sunrise is beautiful. The only thing I would suggest is if you’re staying during a week that is supposed to get hot, bring some extra fans. Despite all the windows in the main living space, very few open so the breeze in the cottage is limited. It was feeling like 30°s while we were there and we were glad to have brought some portable fans to help move the air around. Our vacation was just perfect at Ross’s cottage, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this gem. The communication with the property management company was great prior to our week but the person was out of the office the week of our visit so our email wasn’t answered during our stay. Fortunately, it wasn’t a critical question so it didn’t affect us during our stay. Everything is pretty straight-forward at the cottage.

Ingrid2016-08-07T00:00:00Z

Lovely spot on the lake and all round great stay! All the amenities we needed, beautiful surroundings, and easy booking/check in. Would definitely return!

Brittany2017-07-19T00:00:00Z

Beautiful place to stay at however a few things to be aware of uncomfortable Beds, unfiltered lake water (yellowish colour) low water flow in the shower makes it unpleasant to bath pretty slow Wi-Fi.

We had an amazing weekend at Ross's place, the place is exactly as shown and the pictures don't do it justice. Though there was a slight complication upon our arrival, Ross and Maryrose did a superb job accommodating us late into the night and actually sweetened up our stay with extra perks! The boathouse itself is beautiful with lots to do from paddle boats to canoeing to hiking to just relaxing and appreciating the beautiful scenery. The entire home was super cozy, clean and well equipped with everything you need from exotic spices in the kitchen to extra bath towels and blankets for every room. I highly recommend a stay at Ross's for any occasion! Thanks a tonne!!!

Two options are available. Rent the entire downstairs of our cottage located on the Muskoka River for $140 per night, or rent one bedroom for $75 per night. We are situated on a private road with giant pines, plenty of parking, and wonderful swimming. Both canoe and kayaks are available for your enjoyment, and chaises to watch brilliant clear skies studded with stars. We have one dog and cat. When we rent the entire downstairs, we move up to the attic loft and use the outside stairs.

Each bedroom contains a queen bed, bureau and small cupboard. The bedrooms are relatively small and cozy. One bedroom also contains a child's bed. Living room has a fireplace and there is also an outdoor fire pit and bbq.
For those seeking a place to party, this is not it.

Located on a private road, we are near Port Sydney, a picturesque village on Mary Lake with public beach, community center, antique shops, waterfalls, restaurant and general store where folks line up for ice cream most days.

Angela and Fraser were easy going and we had full use of their cottage as well as our own fridge. The river was beautiful and serene. The surrounding wilderness allowed us to submerse ourselves in nature. The 4 or us had plenty of space to relax and listen to the birds or make a fire or go for a kayak trip to the rapids. We had to clear away a few spider webs from the boats but it was worth it to paddle along with the Merganzers and venture to Port Sydney for ice cream. Thank you for a fun setting for our mini vacation.

Ashley2017-07-14T00:00:00Z

Stewart2016-10-10T00:00:00Z

What a lovely place! Thank you Angela, Fraser, Charro and the cats for opening your home to us. Directions to get there were clear. Angela met us when we arrived. The riverside was much calmer and quieter than I expected and exactly what we were looking for. We had a chance to swim and sit by the water's edge and only see kayakers out and about. We also took the kids to the public beach in town to swim which is a good spot to swim with an easy sloped sandy entry into the water. On our first night, Fraser made us a fire and took the time to show us how to work the TV. We of course took advantage of playing games by the fire in the large family room. We had an incredible time. Ruby (the dog) definitely made a best friend in Charro and was very sad to leave him. Thanks again!

My immaculate 1.5 storey Muskoka cottage near the village of Port Sydney offers 400' of private, west-facing waterfront with generous dock, ladder, Muskoka chairs and fire pit patio. Outdoor activities include canoeing, fishing, volleyball and badminton while indoor activities include games and ping pong. Summer rentals are by the week while spring and fall rentals are a two-day minimum. Watch for wildlife, especially deer, strolling across the lawn or through towering pines and hardwoods.

The cottage is 1.5 stores with a walkout basement and is approximately 200 feet from the lake. It offers a fully-equipped kitchen including stainless appliances, a wonderful, wood-burning fireplace, two HD tv's plus great satellite package, main-floor washer/dryer, wifi. A large deck holds a generous BBQ with propane supply, table and chairs. The walkout basement holds two pullout couches, ping pong and a piano as well as one of the tv's. Bring your own sheets and towels or use mine for a small fee. The driveway accommodates several vehicles.

I know all my neighbours. Some are seasonal and some are permanent residents. The properties are well spaced and my property is large. I love Mary Lake. It is a perfect size and not crowded with boat traffic. It is like a secret.

Susan was very kind and helpful when we arrived. The place was clean and very open, the pictures don't necessarily give the inside justice. The dock is is large and very private with a beautiful view of Mary's Lake. There was lots of firewood and a great firepit to enjoy at night. I definitely recommend this space for anyone looking for a getaway close to the city! Lastly, the deck is open and lots of space with a very nice and powerful bbq.

Port Sydney is a very beautiful place, after turning from Hwy 11 to the inner road, the whole ride is breathtaking. The cottage is located just on top of the Mary lake and I could not get enough of the awesome view from the deck. Susan was very gracious and made us feel right at home. She made sure we have everything that we requested, she even came over in the night to give me few things that I requested for making a meal. There is also a scenic dam nearby the cottage, that we really loved. Autumn colors made our walks the most memorable experience. The cottage itself was very cozy and clean. It accommodated 6 adults comfortably. I would recommend this place to my friends and family. Planning to go back in summer for a longer stay. Thank you Susan!

Jyoti2016-10-21T00:00:00Z

The cottage was cozy and super clean. The fire pit was a highlight every night. Watching the sunset from the dock also wonderful.

Susan2017-09-04T00:00:00Z

Door was open when we arrived. She put some fresh flowers on the house. She introduced herself right after we arrived.

Hilke2016-09-23T00:00:00Z

This cottage is the perfect place for a quiet Muskoka getaway. The photos don't do justice to how beautiful the view from the dock of Mary Lake is. We were so grateful to have a private place to unwind. The cottage was very clean and tastefully decorated. There is an amazing fire pit (which sadly we couldn't use due to a fire ban), and you can tell that this cottage has been well loved by Susan's family for many years. I would highly recommend staying here & would love to go back some day.

Jared2016-08-13T00:00:00Z

We had a great weekend at Susan's cottage. The cottage was very clean, and had all the basics there for us. The dock/waterfront was beautiful and definitely a highlight of the stay. I'd love to come back next summer!

Lillian 2016-09-25T00:00:00Z

Amazing cottage on a very large and spacious piece of land. Susan was a great host. You can tell she is very proud of her cottage. It is well maintained and beautiful inside. There are so many things to do there that the days will just fly by. Between swimming and relaxing on the dock or playing ping pong and volleyball with friends, to having a nice peaceful fire in the evening, you will find no shortage of things to do! Would come back in a heartbeat!

Matthew2017-06-30T00:00:00Z

Our family had a lovely stay at Hilarity Hall! The fall colours on Lake Mary were stunning and the location was excellent with a private dock and property. Susan was easy-going and easy to communicate with. We especially enjoyed the canoe and fire pit!

The 4Corners Inn is close to everything that Muskoka has to offer, no matter what the season. We are close to snowmobile trails, winter skiing, beaches, Parks and hiking trails. We are situated in the centre of Muskoka, with Huntsville and Bracebridge, minutes away. The Inn is suitable for both families and couples. Pet boarding is available, within a short drive from the Inn.

Built in 1897 this home was originally a general store and Inn. It has the unique feature that; all four corners of this historic home can be seen from a point on the property; because of its odd shape. The home has been renovated and updated with all the modern conveniences. Your main floor suite is self contained and completely private with 2 separate bedrooms. This 700 sq' suite sleeps four comfortably. A private kitchen with all cooking essentials is provided, including a fridge, & stove, coffee maker, toaster, kettle and microwave. The three piece washroom is also private and accessible from your living room. The Inn has wireless internet and a TV connected to Netflix.
Guests also love the covered front porch with BBQ.

Located within walking distance to newly built community children's playground and tennis court. Historic church and community hall are on the same street. With a Cafe and general store across the street, the new owners that provide delicious meals to eat-in or take-out.

Very comfortable. It gets dark and quiet quickly at night. We stayed here to visit Algonquin for some family hiking. Access to Netflix and wifi. Seamless check-in with a coded entry lock. Susan was pleasant and communication was good by email and phone ahead of our stay. Full kitchen, well maintained and clean. Full disclosure: There was an early (before 6 AM) morning train that passed the home and blasted it's horn. I'm not sure if that is a regular occurrence, or not.

Rudy2017-05-14T00:00:00Z

Lovely historic house in the neighborhood of Huntsville. House is very nice decorated with all kinds of historic details. On the other hand is the house very much brought to now a days standard. Susan is a lovely host. We can recommend this house very much to others!

Ronald2017-08-27T00:00:00Z

This is in a very quiet location but has a fabulous shop across the road open every day with all the basics you may need, they also do take aways. Huntsville is minutes away by car and has a good selection of shops. Arrowhead and Algonquin are easily accessible and the whole Muskoka Lakes region is lovely. The four corners inn is very comfortable with a veranda to sit out in an evening. Susan answered any questions we had very promptly.

Robert2017-08-17T00:00:00Z

We LOVED our stay. The pictures really don't do this house justice. It is extremely clean and Susan and Tim have thought of literally everything you would need to have a wonderful stay. They even had maps of trails, which we used to find some awesome art around Huntsville. Wish we stayed longer!

Dorinda2017-07-23T00:00:00Z

Everything was perfect. Just dialed in the key code and voila we had a lovely place all to ourselves. The apartment was very clean with all new fixtures and nice furnishings. We made dinner in the kitchen and enjoyed snowy scene out the big windows. This was exactly what we wanted for the weekend. Very nice! We will stay again when we go back to Algonquin Park. Susan was very nice and communicated with us over email before we arrived. 5 stars!

Vincent2017-01-08T00:00:00Z

Overall, it was a great place, we really enjoyed our stay. I personally love the woody atmosphere, it was an intimate place for 4 people. But I think I have to mention these few things for future guests: you might want to consider bringing your own BBQ appliances like tongs, brush, and sharp knives. Although there's a stove, they didn't provide a microwave. But communication with the owner had been great. Thanks Susan!

Alvin Yonatan2017-06-18T00:00:00Z

We had a great stay at Susan's! Her place was clean, comfortable, and a 15 min drive to Arrowhead Provincial Park. I would highly recommend staying here.

Kirsten2017-01-29T00:00:00Z

My friends and I had a great time at Susan's Airbnb. The location was close to Algonquin Park and Lake Muskoka, along with grocery stores. We had so much fun grilling on the BBQ on the porch!

Nestled on a private road with lots of wild life, miles of privacy in the woods or on the river.

Expect to see wildlife throughout your stay. Our quests have seen deer, a moose, fox, rabbits, ducks and you can drop a line in the river and see what happens.

Linda made us feel welcome from the moment we pulled up in the driveway. She took the time to show us the suite and make sure that we were comfortable, even providing some breakfast items since we arrived late at night! The suite was very comfortable, clean, and spacious with a separate entrance that looked out over the river. One of the highlights of our trip was an early morning canoe right from the beach in the backyard. Amazing experience - we can't wait to go back!

Eric2016-10-02T00:00:00Z

Amazing quiet, clean, comfortable place with a great view. Even saw a deer the first night. The host, Linda is such a wonderful, friendly and helpful person. Made us feel at home.

Cathy2016-09-01T00:00:00Z

My girl friend and I spent a weekend at Olga's cottage and couldn't be happier. Spent a day in Huntsville and another at Port Sydney beach. There is nothing bad i could say about the cottage. We plan on coming back every year. This cabin is everything you could want for a couples get away.

Danny2017-07-16T00:00:00Z

Olga's cabin was the perfect spot to spend a weekend of solitude. It's quiet, clean and very comfortable. The indoor fireplace is a huge plus, and the large deck is spacious and ideal to enjoy a barbecue. The cabin is tucked nicely away from highway and city distraction, but close enough to access when you want to go exploring. Olga is extremely easy to communicate with, and responds promptly. She was so friendly when I arrived, and offered some great suggestions about the area. I plan to make a trip to Olga's cabin a regular habit to escape the city. Thanks for everything Olga!

Brian2014-07-29T00:00:00Z

I needed a place to stay in the Muskoka area. Was competing in the Ironman and this place was GREAT! Grilled, baked, and cooked (pots and pans are plentiful) all my meals here. Outside patio area with bug screens and bug candles. Two separate beds (one full and one single) and a small but clean bathroom. Best bang for your buck in the area. I would definitely stay here again.

Robert2015-09-01T00:00:00Z

Olga was a fabulous host. Although we never met, she had everything prepared for us, and the cabin is well stocked with all those little things that you'd rather not bring or buy. It was clear, too, that she'd be available if there were any need.

Conor2014-08-08T00:00:00Z

I'm so happy we gave Olga's cabin a try-it definitely exceeded our expectations! Perfect for warm and cool weather(we absolutely loved making a fire on chilly nights) and the patio is where we spent most of our time. The cabin has everything you could possibly need to relax and enjoy your stay. We traveled as a couple with our dog and had my parents visit for a day and it was comfortable and loved by all. The cabin is clean and well taken care of. The neighbourhood is quiet and scenic. The canoe was a huge bonus-fawn lake is beautiful and fun to explore. Olga is a great host-very responsive. Although the weather wasn't ideal this summer, it was still a great place to relax, bbq, watch movies, make fire, and explore. Thank you Olga, we look forward to staying again!

Malibu2017-08-25T00:00:00Z

Olga's cabin was just perfect! Enjoyed visiting Port Sydney & Huntsville, to buy a sweatshirt & Kawartha ice cream cones. Spent most of the time in the screened-in deck & watched the on/off rain; so relaxing! Hope to go again!

Gayle2017-09-08T00:00:00Z

Rustic cabin in the trees, 400m from lovely Fawn Lake. Loved taking the canoe out on the lake, and enjoyed sitting out on the netted verandah. Great place to escape the busy tourist areas. Basic but adequate facilities - some furnishings and fittings would benefit with being renewed or upgraded for next season. Comfortable but rather squeaky bed. Bring a fan for hot weather.

There are 2 small quiet lakes you can reach from our dock upstream on the very slow moving river. That same river empties into Mary lake part of the four lake system that works its way into Huntsville via the Muskoka River System.

What a great couple Marilyn and Wayne are! We felt welcome from the moment we stepped into their house until the moment we had to leave. Wayne serves super delicious breakfasts and is very nice to talk with. They provided us with tons of good advise and tips in the neighborhood. The house is in a very beautiful and quiet place. It's only a 10 minute drive to Huntsville and close to many lakes and sights. If we're ever going to be in the neighborhood, we will definitely go back to Marilyn and Wayne.

Jacob2017-07-30T00:00:00Z

Beautiful and quiet picturesque place near to small lakes and river. In case you don't find it on (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) maps, just turn left at the end of the road where the map indicates the location is. It's just a few meters up the hill. The owners are extremely friendly and made a delicious breakfast. Everything is clean and we had a great time.

Lars2017-08-18T00:00:00Z

We had a wonderful stay at Brown Dog Manor BnB. Marylin and Wayne know what HOSPITALITY means. The room was clean and cozy. Very well equiped, TV, DVD & lots of movies. Breakfasts were Awesome, Wayne you are a great cooker! We had a very nice campfire, and all the recomandations we needed! A very good place to stay if you want to discover Algonquin Park (about 40 minutes to West Gate)

marcel2017-08-26T00:00:00Z

Marilyn and Wayne are very friendly, warm and welcoming guests that give you the feeling that they really care about you. They have a beautiful house in a really quiet zone, perfect to get some rest. The breakfast that Wayne prepares is delicious, try the blueberry pancakes or his omelette!

Julia2017-08-22T00:00:00Z

Marilyn and Wayne are a great couple! They were welcoming, very hospitable and made us feel like home. The rooms were comfy and clean. We had a beautiful view from the hot tub in the evening and from the porch at breakfast. Toby, the dog, is really cute and loves to be cuddled :) We stayed only one night, but we would have enjoyed to stay longer! We would definitely stay with them again the next time we visit the area. Thanks for the nice conversations!!

Anja2017-08-13T00:00:00Z

Best breakfast in Huntsville! Marilyn is a welcoming host and her husband is a true BBQ Masterchef!

Tom2017-08-20T00:00:00Z

This is a lovely house on the edge of Mary Lake. The house is fully equipped and the hosts are extremely welcoming and friendly. Their dog, Toby is also very calm and loveable. It is a great place to stay if you are out and about to explore Ontario/Algonquin Park.

Wendy2017-08-19T00:00:00Z

The breakfast isn't something you want to miss. Marilyn and Wayne were very friendly, and offered lots of places to check out, as well as other activities within their home. If you live in the suburbs or city, it is a nice change of scenery. We would definitely visit again

Beautiful cottage, thank you for helping us book our stay and for being an awesome host, we had an amazing weekend!

Vipi2016-12-18T00:00:00Z

This cottage is AMAZING! It has all necessary indoor space, outdoor environment and household necessities for an amazing vacation! The beach, backyard and porch overlooking the water are stunning - each space also has ample seating for guests and tons of recreational equipment for the guests to use (paddle boards, kayaks, fire pit) The cottage itself is beautiful and has all necessary kitchen and household materials (and lots of board games!) for a comfortable stay! Norm is an amazing host to deal with - he always got back to me in a timely manner and was very helpful with all questions and the booking process through Air BnB. This was my first time booking through Air BnB and the host experience will be hard o top from here on out (so thank you Norm!) If you are thinking of booking a stay here, don't think twice! Book it!

Meagan2017-06-18T00:00:00Z

Norm's cottage was AMAZING. He is a great communicator and never hesitated to share info with me. the view was breathtaking. We absolutely enjoyed our stay.

Tannaz 2017-09-04T00:00:00Z

The place was great, our family of 10 (including 2 young children) had a wonderful time on the large front porch overlooking the lake and the on the beach and dock. Lots of fun water toys such as kayaks and paddle boards are provided, which we loved! The small private beach area is perfect for kids - shallow and protected. As the pictures correctly show, the driveway and stairs are quite steep and the steps down to the beach area may be a bit difficult to navigate for those with mobility issues - but the beach and the porch view are totally worth it. When we arrived the hydro was down (not the owner's fault, the whole area was blacked out), but the manager generously brought over lots of flashlights, buckets, and cooler/ice, and we survived a couple of days without power with their help. Thank you! The bunk beds are singles, but the length should accommodate most adults - we did notice that the labels say that they are supposed to be for 150lbs or less. The house is well stocked and has lots of kitchen and bbq stuff, games, moves, and things to keep you amused! There's also lots to do a short drive nearby - we visited a couple breweries and small towns on the rainy days, it was lovely!

A neat, cozy 1.5 story A-Frame Muskoka cottage, sitting on a beautiful lake with a large private 110 ft soft sand beach, gently sloping into lake which is perfect for young families. This cottage sleep 7 comfortably! Fawn Lake is a 2+ km long lake with limited boating activity and calmer waters! Great for swimming, canoeing, paddle boating, fishing and relaxing with a drink on the large dock. Close to golf courses, Tree Top Trekking and many more great activities within Muskoka.

The yard is south facing with a large and perfectly level grass lot. It has more than enough room for the family to engage in many different activities at the same time. The clear view of the water from the deck gives parents the opportunity to relax in the shade and watch the kids. A beverage fridge is conveniently located on the deck for easy access, as well as a pic nic table and a stainless-steel Napoleon BBQ, perfect to cook and entertain your guests. There is a “shower” for rinsing off the sand on the East side of the cottage. You could have it all to yourself!
The cottage is open concept style with a spacious kitchen which has plenty of dishes/cookware/cutlery, a coffee maker, microwave, toaster and kettle. Basics like salt and pepper and some spices. There is no dishwasher.
The living room has seating for the whole gang with a view over the deck and water! The living room has a large screen TV (no cable) with a DVD player so bring your favourite movies. There is no telephone but the cottage and property has great cell phone reception. There is a “bench/bed” along the opposite wall for an overnight guest. This is a popular sleeping spot for the teens! Upstairs you will find 2 good sized rooms with 2 beds in each room (2 queen, 1 double and 1 twin) and guests should bring their own sheets, bath and dish towels. The stairs to the bedrooms upstairs are narrow and steep. A neat feature in this cottage is an attic hatch that opens up to allow heat to rise to the roof - when you press the switch beside the window, a fan pulls the cool air from the back of the cottage and releases the warm air from the attic! An old-school concept, but very suitable alternative to modern air-conditioning - which is never needed!
The tall trees and huge yard gives this property a very private feel, and gives you plenty of room to enjoy the outdoors! It is a 20-minute drive to either Bracebridge or Huntsville. Come enjoy Fawn Lake…you’ll be glad you did!

Private and quiet property. Neighbours on both sides but they are a fair distance apart which provide privacy. A boat launch is near the road about 150 mts from the cottage.
A 20-minute drive to either Bracebridge or Huntsville for most all amenities. Tree Top Trekking, Algonquian Park and many more great activities within Muskoka. Two different golf courses are within 7 km of the cottage,
General store, restaurants, LCBO and more can be found in the village of Port Sydney about 5 min’s away where you can hang out at the falls, treat yourself to an ice cream, rent movies or head to the Mary Lake beach.

Awesome location on a quiet lake. The cottage is very cute .. nice big kitchen .. the stairs are very very narrow ... lots of chairs to sit outside on.. and a great fire pit.

Joaquin cottage was beautiful and really cozy. The cottage had a beautiful beach and the property was amazing for kids to run around. Joaquin was very good host and responsive with any questions we had. Looking forward to staying at his cottage again in the future. Thanks for your time hospitality Joaquin.

Branko2017-07-22T00:00:00Z

Quaint little cabin, nicely located within a half hour of several towns (Huntsville, Bracebridge and Gravenhurst) and countless places to swim, hike and paddle. Easy check in and out, communication with Joaquin was a breeze. I recommend!
